Referring now to Figure 12, can be each gear formation and penalize damage to determine.Figure 12 illustrates penalizing of Fig. 7 and damages the first mode of execution 212A calculating.In this embodiment, engine speed signal 162 provides to question blank 310, so that maximum engine torque signal 312 to be provided.Power request signal 82 transfers to question blank 314 to determine torque reserve signal 316.From question blank, produce torque reserve signal 316, and provided to arithmetic frame 318, this frame makes torque reserve signal 316 and 312 combinations of maximum engine torque signal.This arithmetic frame can make torque reserve signal 316 deduct to obtain permitting torque signal 320 from maximum engine torque signal 312.License torque signal 320 and engine torque signal 168 provide to decision block 322.This decision block determines whether Engine torque is greater than license moment of torsion.If Engine torque is greater than license moment of torsion, the high damage of penalizing of mark in frame 324.In frame 322, if Engine torque is not more than license moment of torsion, in frame 326, nothing is penalized damage.
Referring now to Figure 13, determine in order to determine another mode of execution 212B of cost.In this embodiment, power request signal 82 is provided to question blank 340, to obtain permitting minimum engine speed signal 342.Engine speed signal 162 is provided to decision block 344, to determine that whether engine speed is lower than license engine speed.If lower than license engine speed, starting high penalizing in 346, engine speed damages sign.If engine speed is not less than license engine speed, does not penalize and damage and in step 348, provide zero to penalize damage sign.
Referring now to Figure 14, determine the 3rd mode of execution of cost signal.In this embodiment, provide question blank 370, it utilizes power request signal 82 to determine license maximum engine speed 372.Engine speed signal 162 and license maximum engine speed signal 372 are provided to comparison frame 374, and this comparison frame determines whether engine speed is greater than license maximum engine speed.When engine speed is greater than license maximum engine speed, frame 376 shows the high damage sign of penalizing.
If in frame 374, engine speed is greater than license maximum engine speed, in frame 378, provides without penalizing and damages sign.
Once cost signal is provided and has penalized damage signal, Fig. 7 just obtains the ultimate cost of each gear.In the frame 222 of Fig. 7, select the gear with minimum ultimate cost as expectation gear.
It should be pointed out that above-mentioned question blank can be tested easily and to be determined by engine calibration.A plurality of intermediate computations are known question blank functions.
Now, those skilled in the art can understand from the above description broad teachings of the present invention and can implement with various forms.Therefore, although described the present invention about its specific embodiment, actual range of the present invention should not be so limited, because those skilled in the art will know other modification by research accompanying drawing, specification and claims.
